Abstract:

A drill wrench for driving drill steels, drill bits, and bolts during drilling and bolting operations is disclosed. The drill wrench may include an internal driver for driving a drill steel. The internal driver may be inserted in an internal-drive recess defined within an end of the drill steel. When the drill wrench is rotated, the internal driver may drive the drill steel by engaging at least one surface within the end of the drill steel. The drill wrench may also include an external support member that supports the drill steel during drilling. The external support member may also drive the drill steel by engaging an outer peripheral portion of the drill steel when the drill wrench is rotated.

Abstract:

A tool for fastening fencing material to a post with a staple. The tool includes a base plate; first and second handles; first and second crimping arms, and a cam operatively engaged with the first handle. A slide is operatively engaged with the cam. The first and second handles and the first and second crimping arms are pivotally interconnected and attached to the base plate so that when the first and second handles are pivoted towards one another from an open position, the cam advances the slide, which advances the staple so that the crimping arms may crimp the staple to the fence post. A method for attaching the staple to a fence post is also described and claimed. An inventive staple is also disclosed.

US Classification:

175431

Abstract:

A rotary drill bit may include a bit body rotatable about a central axis. The rotary drill bit may also include at least one cutting element coupled to the bit body. The at least one cutting element may have a cutting face, a cutting edge adjacent the cutting face, and a back surface opposite the cutting face. The at least one cutting element may be oriented so that a substantial portion of the cutting edge has a positive clearance angle, which may be defined by a first vector that is normal to the cutting face and a second vector that is tangential to a helical path traveled by the cutting edge during drilling.
